    @NTA yeah regardless of colour the condom shaped collar is tough to miss.

    Hopefully the "supporter" version does away with it. I hate tight collars.

      It's a bit like Commonsense Cookery Book around these parts at times - neighbourly people offering practical advice and simple solutions to the challenges others - complete strangers - encounter in daily life around the house. They could be serial killers, contrail conspiracy theory tragics or wingers but they are all treated the same.

      The loveliness is just lovely.

        I could learn to like this jersey, TBH. It is growing on me even if its got the same shitty collar in reverse.

          @NTA what's going on with the Rebels? Sounds like they are almost insolvent? I've missed this if so - and it's a real concern if that's the case.

              Generally speaking, you'd like to think that the private school system that puts out a lot of our players and administrators, would also have a few who knew how to balance a budget.

              Clearly fucking not

                bummer. I knew about ARU's woes, but having a franchise (who should have a clearly defined scope and limited costs) is a real concern.

                    And its funny because years ago, green with gold trim was actually our national rugby team's colour.

                          What an awful kit. What little of it you can see.

                          Actually, a great kit ruined.

                              The reason I have an inkling for NSW over Qld in origin is because of that (formerly) beautiful 2 blues kit if 1989 ( shared by the tahs)

                                For reference: I'm not really into league. But agree that the once-simple blue kit is getting ridiculous with "away" versions

                                        Heard Gordon Bray extolling the virtues of St Josephs in Sydney. Their a,b and c grade sides went through the whole season unbeaten.

                                        This not good. Must be some shoddy other teams in these grades and one school having ALL the talent can't be a good thing.

                                          This is not entirely true.

                                          Sydney private school sports is very weird. There is no single competition across Sydney for schoolboy rugby.

                                          The teams play in different competitions/school associations with roughly half a dozen schools in each - GPS, CAS, ISA etc.

                                          So when Bray says St Joseph's went undefeated - it is only against the other 5 teams in their association (GPS) - now admittedly their 6 team competition/association (GPS) is the strongest but it's still not the full picture.

                                          There are some inter-competition/association games between these competitions/associations at the start of the year before they divide into their separate competitions/associations - I know St Joseph's 1st XV lost to one of the CAS schools at the start of this year.
